Which Tank? Atlas Tanks offers two tank options

1. The first is what we call “Custom-Made” sometimes referred to as “fabricated” tanks. Custom-madetanks are made to your specifications. You specify the tank dimensions and fitting locations and sizes.These are ‘no compromise’ tanks, you get exactly what you need.

2. The second option is “Standard Size” tanks. With standard tanks the size is fixed, however you canhave fittings (inlets, outlets & breathers) wherever you need them on the tank.

Both tank types are ideal for Freshwater, Greywater, Blackwater and Diesel applications.

So which tank should you use?First see if a standard size tank will suit your needs, if so, this is the most economical option. If youcan’t get a standard size tank close to your ideal, or you need a tank to your exact specifications, acustom-made tank is the solution.

About Our Custom-Made TanksCustom-made tanks can be made to just about any shape and size, fittings can be placed at any locationon the tank. Custom-made tanks are perfectly suited for use in freshwater, greywater and blackwaterinstallations.

Our custom-made tanks are fabricated from 6 & 10 mm thick, food grade polypropylene. We usepolypropylene (PP) because it is very strong, highly impact resistant, food grade, corrosion free, lightweight and has good working characteristics. Generally custom-made tanks will have baffles at about350-450 mm centres. Tanks can be as small as 25 litres up to over 4,000 litres to most shapes andsizes.

Custom-made tanks are made from flat sheets and are folded and welded to form the required shapes.When completed every tank is pressure tested to 21 kpa, this allows us to check that the tank has noleaks, as well as testing tank integrity.

How to Order Custom-Made Tanks or get a quote fast

Once you have the shape, size, fittings and their locations you need to send us a drawing which wewill be able to work from. The following is an overall guide.

1. Draw the basic shape of your tank in relative proportion2. On your drawing detail all measurements paying particular attention to anything which is critical3. Indicate on your drawing the location of your fittings and their sizes4. Double check your dimensions and fittings are correct5. Mark what application the tank is for ie: fresh/grey/blackwater tank for a boat/motorhome etc6. On the same page put your contact details, include name, phone, email, delivery & postal address7.

Blackwater tank

About Our Standard Size TanksOur range of standard tanks are one piece moulded. Standard tanks are extremely strong and lightweight, typically the wall thickness is between 6-8mm. Standard tanks are moulded from food gradePolyethylene and are ideal for freshwater, greywater and blackwater applications.

FittingsInlets, outlets, breather and other fittings are supplied as BSPT female threaded ports. Fittings areapplied to the tank after moulding and can be located just about anywhere on the tank. Sizes 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”, 1-1/4, 1-1/2” and 2”.

Custom-Moulded Tanks O.E.M.Where you have a need for a specific size or shape tank which you use regularly (about 10 per year)we offer our O.E.M. service of custom-made moulded tanks. Custom-made moulded tanks representoutstanding value and convenience.

About Diesel Fuel TanksWe can mould any of the standard size range as a diesel tank. Our diesel fuel tanks are one piecemoulded and the material used is specifically formulated for use in diesel tank applications. Typicallythe wall thickness is 10mm.

Custom-Moulded Tanks O.E.M.Where you have a need for a specific size or shape tank which you use regularly (about 10 per year)we offer our O.E.M. service of custom-made moulded tanks. Custom-made moulded tanks representoutstanding value and convenience.

Gauges and Tank SensorsAtlas Tanks offers the option of a quality gauge andtank sensor for use with fresh/grey & blackwater tanks.These units work just like the fuel tank gauge in yourcar or motorhome. While power is provided you willhave a continuous reading between empty and full.

Sensors are fitted through the tank top and reach tothe bottom. Sensors for blackwater are a special typewith the float unit inside a perforated cover to preventblockage and malfunction.

Gauges can be mounted anywhere you need in thevehicle. Gauges are available for Fresh, Grey,Blackwater and fuel tanks.

Fittings Size Guide for Recreational VehiclesFreshwater PlumbingFilling, generally the filler fitting size on your tank will be dictated by the type of filler point you install.Most through body fillers use a 1” fitting. Alternatively you can fill the tank with a cap on the tank itself.

Breather, all tanks must have a breather to let air in and out as you fill and drain the tank. Most standardthrough body fillers have a built in breather connection of 1/2”.

Outlet, in almost all installations water going to a pump and from the pump to appliances within thevehicle will use a 1/2”.

Greywater PlumbingInlets, most appliances drain with a 40 mm fitting (old 1 1/2”) and this is good practise. Any plumbingless than 40 mm will cause slow draining and ponding in shower units.

Breather, a breather of at least 1” is recommended, anything smaller will result in slow discharging ofthe tank.

This information is a general overview and is provided as a guide only and does not reflect state regulations or requirements.Page 70

Fittings Size Guide for Recreational Vehicles continuedGreywater PlumbingOutlet, often the installation will dictate what size of outlet you will have to use. Generally it is ideal todrain the tank with an 1 1/2” outlet, but 1” is also very common. On larger tanks consider the use of a3” knife valve system with a coupling lay flat hose. The hose can also be used with a knife valve on ablackwater tank.

Blackwater PlumbingInlet, to your blackwater tank will be dictated by the type of toilet that you are using, consult your toiletspecifications. We strongly recommend the use of macerating toilets (marine type).

Breather, in order to keep odour from your holding tank under control your breather or vent should beas large as possible. Ideally use a 1 1/2” breather.

Outlet, it is most common to use an 1 1/2” outlet for blackwater. Another method is to use a knife valvesystem. A knife valve is mounted to the side or underside of the tank. The knife valve has a bayonetfitting which allows for the attachment of a hose connection which is run to the drain/sewer. Once thehose is in position, open the knife valve and drain away.

This information is a general overview and is provided as a guide only and does not reflect state regulations or requirements. Page 71

Fittings Size Guide for BoatsFreshwater PlumbingFilling, most commonly boats are filled via a 1 1/2” deck filler, some commercial and/or larger boatswith very large capacity tanks use 2”.

Breather, through hull or through wall breather types are most common and are usually 1/2”.

Outlet, in almost all installations water going to a pump and from the pump to appliances will be 1/2”plumbing, large vessels sometimes plumb with 3/4”. Check your pump specifications.

Greywater PlumbingInlets, generally boats don’t have a separate “greywater tank” where you are plumbing applianceswhich generate greywater we recommend 1 1/2” but you should also check the outlet sizes on anyappliances.

Breather, a breather of at least 1” is recommended, anything smaller will result in slow discharging ofthe tank.

This information is a general overview and is provided as a guide only and does not reflect state regulations or requirements.Page 72

Fittings Size Guide for Boats continuedGreywater PlumbingOutlet, as most boats generally use the blackwater or holding tank, see blackwater plumbing. If youare having a greywater tank use at least a 1 1/2” outlet.

Blackwater PlumbingInlet, to your blackwater tank will be dictated by the type of toilet that you are using, consult your toiletspecifications. We strongly recommend the use of macerating toilets (marine type). Most maceratingtoilets and pumps have an outlet size of 1”. Most hand pump toilets have an outlet size of 1 1/2”.

Breather, in order to keep odour from your holding tank under control your breather or vent should beas large as possible. The Australian Standard for holding tanks onboard pleasure boats call for a 1 1/2”breather, while this is ideal it is not always possible. Fit the largest breather your installation allows, ifyou can only fit 1/2” then consider fitting 2 breathers.

Outlet, going to a deck fitting for pump out at a marina will be universally 1 1/2”. Outlet going to amacerating pump then through the hull overboard will be 1 1/2” to the pump. Hand pump to pumpoverboard will usually be 1 1/2”, check pump specifications.

This information is a general overview and is provided as a guide only and does not reflect state regulations or requirements. Page 73
